FA Premier League has entered its second week and things are not going smooth for the BIG FOUR. Arsenal, for example, just lost at Fulham with a heartbraking score, 1-0. Liverpool meanwhile even though they got a win last night, are not going strong and tough as they were predicted before the season started. Chelsea and Man United are predicted to earn easy victories this week but in football, nothing is ever settled before the final whistle. This saying is true, because there are proofs and for example is the 112 seconds sensation in the UEFA Champions League Final 1998/1999. Until the 91st minute and 28 seconds, Manchester united was still trailing but when the clock struck 112 seconds later, it was Manchester united leading 2 goals to one. Only after seconds they took the lead, the referee blew the final whistle and it was a dream season for any team, anywhere, anytime.
Football in the Premier League and football in the Champions league are the same and this saying covers the whole football topic around the world. So, back to the Premier League, how are teams going to do this year? It's a question with an answer to die for. Chelsea and Man United, as the 2 teams who finished highest last year, also have this question on their minds because you practically can predict who's going to win in a match, but you can only predict because there's nothing definite in football.
"A ball is round and it will always be round. Football is never definite and it will always indefinite."
That's the right proverb for football, because by being indefinite, football is interesting and the results can only be decided after the final whistle blows. VIVA FOOTBALL!

It's About to Start!
The FA Premier League, which is reckoned as the greatest football league in the world, is about to kick off today, at 12.00 pm BST. The first teams to play are Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion, while my favorite team, Manchester United will play in the next day, at 16.00 BST. They're playing Newcastle United, which is included as their arch nemesis, in the sacred ground of Old Trafford.
This season's championship is called by all people as "the moment of truth". "Moment of Truth" in this tag means who would be crowned as the champion must show consistency and stability throughout the season, because as we all remember that Arsenal should have been crowned as the champion if they hadn't lost their key members in the last few month of the 2007/2008 season. Also that the BIG FOUR; Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are to be tested by the other teams which has been improving throughout the seasons and the pre-seasons.
I, personally, as a fan of Manchester United FC, still think that they have what it takes to be the champions one more time. There hasn't been any dramatical change to the team, which will strengthen the team's morality and atmosphere. I still can see that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be the man, even though he's in an ankle injury recovery. Paul Scholes, as the main figure from the Class of 92, is still going to be strong and we would see his major contribution in midfield. As Paddy Crerand said, "We'd all argue differently about the starting XI. You look at who played in midfield in Moscow - any combination of players could have done the job.", any players will make the champions rule again!!!!!!
Glory Glory Man United!
The Stretford End is Arising!
Ferguson's Red and White Army is Winning!
And We shall not be moved from the Top!
As the Champion of England and the Pride of All Europe!

The Contest of Finding The New Ruler of the Sky
In this modern world, traveling as soon as possible from one place to another has always been the major priority. That's why there are so many airliners in the world. No wonder, the world of aviation has a major effect on today's world transportation. Without airliners, you can easily imagine that traveling from Asia, for example : Jakarta, to Europe, for example : Munich, will take months. But things are very different now. Traveling from Jakarta to Munich, for example, would only take about 18-20 hours. This length of time will be much shorter if you use a non-stopping flight.
Boeing, which is based in the USA, and Airbus, which is based in Toulouse, France have provided more than 80% of today's modern airliners. Boeing, which is famous for its 7-series jets could be said as the conqueror of the sky with thousands of its jets are spread around the 6 continents. Airbus, meanwhile, is a company which is much younger. But, globalization has changed dramatically everything in the world and Airbus, even though it is still much younger than Boeing, has gained a major reputation in the world of aviation and with its A3-series, an age is no longer a problem.
We've seen a lot of planes and what I'm going to talk about is the contest of finding a new jumbo and also the ruler of the sky after the 747 -400. Airbus, with its credibility has developed the A380. A380 is not only the biggest jumbo jet ever, but also the heaviest. This was the biggest issue because to build a jet like this it would take hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention the difficulties the company of making the parts of the plane. But, somehow they managed to do it. Now, the airline which will use the biggest number of A380 is Singapore Airlines. With its destinations which are spread around the 6 continents no wonder they need this kind of plane.
Some people did say that A380 wouldn't be successful because this was a plane that had never been built before. Well, I do think that they're just undeniably wrong. A380 has been built in a major number and is now the new conqueror of the sky with its capacity of more than 500 people. Boeing 747, meanwhile, can only carry around 400 people so it's much lesser than the capacity of the A380. A380, has truly defeated the 747-400 not only by the capacity, but the luxury it can provide for the passengers. Emirates, an airliner which is based in Dubai, UAE, has a dream to make the A380 a palace in the sky. I did see some of the plans because I did read in the website about their plan. I couldn't say anything because my jaws were just dropped because of my amazement. It's so wonderful and luxurious! Fits perfectly with the conditions in Dubai. A380 definitely has a bright future in the world of aviation and enough said, it's the greatest.
Well, talking about the future of aviation world, I still don't know what is going to happen but as everybody says, you can always hope for a better future. The signs are clear and the indications do exist. Future is guaranteed to be much greater and much more luxurious for the aviation industry.

Why can't I find a suitable one?
I started this day with high hopes that I was going to have a new pair of gloves . It all started well; my mom said it's OK then at about 3 o'clock we went to Istana Plaza. I looked around quickly, tried every pair of gloves that I could find, but every time I'd found a suitable one, they would say that they didn't have my size. I'm size 9 and what they had was size 10 and 11. Even if there were gloves in size 9, they mostly were the most expensive ones. How catastrophic, wasn't it?
Then after I came home I asked my mom for letting me go for the adventure of my life, finding a a new pair of goalkeeper gloves. She , as usual, agreed letting me go and the next thing I knew was that I was in downtown Bandung. I visited a store named Jakarta Sport; entered the store with a glimmer of hopes that I would find a perfect pair of gloves which suits my physical features perfectly. They did have but I kind of didn't like the model and also the colors which in my opinion were just too bright and because of it, they looked, at that time, kind of ugly. Then I left the store and looked for other shops. There were 2 stores, which in particular are located not really far away from the previous store so, just guess, I visited those stores.
What happened next was really annoying because I could find no gloves with my criteria for a perfect pair of gloves. It stinks, you know! To spend hours just to find a new one and what did I get? None! I'd wasted several hours of my life just to go from one store to another without finding what I was looking for.
Oh! Now it means that I have to find it another time. Let's just keep hoping that next time, maybe I can find a perfect one.
